Hey, was Keith Urban the Australian guy who co-presented Van Cliburn with his award?
And did I zone out? Wasn't Annie Lennox supposed to perform?
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy 40th Anniversy of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show!
Entertainment Weekly had an article on "Are The Beatles Still Relevent" or something. Talked about how a lot of young people are into The Beatles, and how for them it's sort of an "alternative" thing. (EW requires you to have a subscription or buy an issue to get access to their web site.)
I've actually been listening to The Beatles a lot recently. I finally bought "The White Album" which I think is my favorite. I loved The Beatles as a kid but not so much as an adult.
I now look at The Beatles as a very talented pop group that happened to be at the right place at the right time - twice. First at the early phases of "youth culture" as a market force, and then as part of the counter culture. Sorta.
Anyway, the music experts can feel free to fling fruit at me....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I'm reading the article in the New York Times Magazine about the Virginia Beach guys (Neptunes, Timbaland, etc.), and this little bit made me laugh out loud. On the bus.
The rapper and singer Melissa (Missy) Elliott, 32, is another prominent Virginia Beach-area native, and among her many collaborations with Timbaland is the 2002 hit "Work It" (which introduced the phrase "ga-donk ga-donk donk" into everyday speech).

That's in "everyday speech"? I've never heard it before!

And I was already giggling due to "Melissa (Missy) Elliot," because everyone knows it should be "Missy (Misdemeanor) Elliot"! Silly NYTimes.

OMG! NYTimes writers/staff are the Grammy voters! It all makes sense now.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So. Random thoughts while watching music on Televison all night.
You missed a great Samurai Jack. Atmospherically, it was made-for-Hec.

My mix went in the post on the weekend (via a sub branch which does tend to take a day or so to get things into the mail system but at least it's on its way) and I forwarded Angus's as well. Working on putting liner notes up in between installing and re-installing everything on my new machine, hopefully not too much longer.
PS. Angus, I've had the bloody Pet Shop Boys in my head all day today. It's your fault.

Just a quick note to say that I finally sent my mix to msbelle, BUT that I hadn't fixed the volume problem when I did and that she should ignore it when she's gets it BECAUSE I fixed it last night & sent the revised version this morning.
Got the erinaceous mix, & she always sent me tommyrot's. Enjoyed both. Can give specifics if that's the protocol but it must be later as I gots ta go. Please remind me what I'm supposed to do once I receive mixes (other than listen to them, of course.)
